North Fork Tieton to Tieton Pass — Saturday, Jun. 22, 2024

We did our first backpacking trip of the season at McCall Basin. We hiked to tieton pass 2023 Memorial Day weekend as a day hike and counted about 95 downed trees across the trail- with a lot of them being super difficult to cross. Luckily with this trip, we counted 45 blowdowns, with only a few being pretty difficult to get over. The first few blowdowns would be very difficult/if not impossible for horses, but hikers will be fine. There was some snow patches once we hit the PCT and the junction for McCall basin, with most of the meadow covered in snow- the horse camp in the meadow was snow free though, where we ended up camping. Super beautiful trip!
